DEVELOPING: Labour MP Slams Starmer's Leadership as Mandelson Backlash Escalates

BREAKING NEWS Labour MP Clive Lewis has publicly questioned Sir Keir Starmer's leadership, stating that the Prime Minister "doesn't seem up to the job". This comes as a backlash against Peter Mandelson's appointment and sacking continues to escalate. Lewis made these comments on Radio 4's Week in Westminster, adding that there is a "very, very dangerous atmosphere" among Labour MPs. He said people are concerned, downtrodden, and browbeaten due to the Prime Minister's handling of the situation. The criticism follows Mandelson's sacking as an ambassador over his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Although No 10 claimed new information about their relationship only came to light this week, it has emerged that their friendship was known at the time of his appointment. Minister Douglas Alexander defended the Prime Minister's actions, stating that he had "acted quickly" on Mandelson and the government is looking forward to moving on. This is a developing story.
